Never had a problem
There are a lot of reviews on here that put this little guy down, but I've never had a problem. I've had it for over a year, and I take it with me on the airplane every month when I visit my fiance. It fits nicely in my satchel, and the sound is decent. I have crappy headphones, but all I do is turn on the subtitles, which is easy enough to do through the setup button during play, or from the main menu. You even have the option to change the contrast, brightness etc and screen size (16:9 and 4:3), which is great, no squashed or stretched images. At home I don't have a TV in my computer room, so I set it up next to my desk and plug it in, since the screen is just the right size. I use it every few days, and even use it to test DVDs that I make using Adobe Encore DVD 2.0, and it runs them perfectly. Once in awhile a burned DVD will not work, but it's the DVD, not the player. It says it will play PAL, but I haven't had a chance to try that out yet. Good While It Lasted This was a nice dvd player for about 15 months of limited use. Recently tried using it, and it started making loud grinding sounds. For some unknown reason, the player won't play anything past track #6 on any of the dvds I place in it. This seems consistent with many of the reviews on the site from people who have had the player for an extended period of time. My limited use of the player over 15 months was probably equal to 90 days of intense use, which ironically is the length of the limited warranty. My next purchase will probably be a Sony or Toshiba model. Piece of junk We purchased this player prior to a road trip. We have a 3 year old and wanted to keep him entertained for the 6 hour drive. We ordered the player and payed extra to overnight the player before we left on the trip. It came to the house and I hooked it up in my truck and it played no problem. The next morning there was a problem. All of out DVD's are legal. We kept getting Wrong Disk errors. After finally just smacking the player around out of frustration, it would play a few hours and then quit. This is the worst DVD player I've ever come across. Don't buy it. Plain and simple it sucks. Recommended to buy..... I bought this portable DVD player and connected to home theater...wow..its excellent and audio is awesome... This is a piece of junk, don't waste your money! You get what you pay for! I bought this for it's low price and I'm sorry now. Less than six months of use and it no longer works. I get a NO DISC error or WRONG DISC error for the majority of the DVDs I try to play. Some searching on the web has enlightened me that this is a common problem for this player, and of course it's out of warranty. I have tried contacting Coby with no response. If you want a disposable DVD player, this is the one for you. | |
